And this is the first (early!) rose of spring, and I have to take a bit of credit for it,  called Sweet Love. Isn’t that a nice one to bloom first for all of us? When I say ‘credit’…uh…I wish to explain that my presence in my rose garden (a few weeks ago) demanded that I…er…help that sweet rosie grow...

Friday’s child is loving and giving…would that all dictators were born on a Friday, non? 1. I hope my mama’s Easter basket has __lots of deviled eggs in it. 2. March has been __so windy we cannot even stand up straight without holding onto a telephone pole, haha! 3. If there ever was a time to __GET RID OF TYRANTS AND DEMOCRACY...

Well, we are so thankful today for, as usual, so many things.  Let’s make it easy to think about. Thankful for: Heavy rain that took the lemon tree and rose food into the ground instead of having to cultivate it into the soil! Flowers everywhere, despite cold mornings, as daytime temp rises with Mr Sun. Lovely cards from kind readers that were so...

Keeping an eye on things… Oh, boy, I saw that mama had such fun at the open market on Sunday, buying little marigolds for the garden and happily planting other posies in our small flower holders that greet people before they walk down to the front door. All I can say is, pauvres petites fleurs! Planted out there on a warm sunny day and now whipped...

Well, mama sort of made up our spark… What mews around, goes around, which is to say (and mama, it’s a stretch, but what the heck) that kitties bring joy and love and caring wherever they reign, so if you find a little mew-er who needs a home, do think about it. (I would paraphrase that as “What mews around probably is trying to tell you...

Bonjour, tout le monde.  I’m just making a little visit on Sunday so that mama and papa know I am keeping watch over things. It’s my selfie but not a selfie, if you know what I mean, but I like visiting every now and then. It’s better than being mistaken for a sweater! Live well and have a sweet...

We mulch with such a thick layer of straw that we don’t actually have many weeds, but mama leaves a few for my dining pleasure… Below is the Candy Effect from Lunapic. Weeds are like candy to me, haha. Bon weekend, tout le monde!...

Well, whew, I can leave these to mama: 1. I refuse to spend more than __4 minutes for __poaching an egg, haha. Four minutes after egg is dropped in simmering water, fire turned off and covered. A PERFECT POACHED EGG! 2. I am not ashamed to admit __that I have SO MUCH MORE to learn. 3. I’ve been obsessed with __how losing a kitty works__ lately. 4. When...

Well, I’m not really tattling, It’s just that when the cafetteria at Teddy’s house offers all those incredible dishes, mama always gets the chicken salad sandwich, boring me with sameness, which inspires me to call it “sandwish”, which then inspired mama to call herself a “sandwitch”, which is now getting to point...

“Those (kitties, doggies, animals) whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are.” So true for us. And yes, they know that I am gone but I am so much with them still and will always be and I do wish to keep my thoughts going to help mama and papa and perhaps one day I will send a little friend of mine to them who...

We come in all colors! Bonjour, dear bloggers, I’m linking you to a little article about Tuxies, and let’s just say it is a bit of knowledge I thought you might enjoy now that we are close friends, but I won’t bore you with more of these. Just wanted to share this one time…. Mama also thought you might like to know a bit more about...

You lookin’ at my tail? Well, it’s talkin’ to you, too! Well, I can fill these in but I’ll have to wing St Patty’s Day as I’m not too knowledgeable about leprechauns, but still…. 1. I (still) enjoy watching __the red string kitty video and soccer matches with mama and papa. They know I’m there even if they...

Oh, so thankful today for this in New York! Okay, okay today I am on a doggy roll and so thankful for those strange fabulous best friends that anthros dote on so much. I must admit I loved Mya, remember her? She was a big part of my life and we still chat often, and perhaps we’ll both would visit these doggy cafes! At least they can’t chase me...

(I think papa might talk to his suitcase, too…) Well, little by little mama and papa are trying to adjust to the hole I left in their lives… I guess when mama stops talking to papa’s black and white sweater and papa sees that I am actually not mamas furry boots lying halfway under the bed, they will start healing better… I had a...

I’m cheering mama and papa up with whatever I can find… Well, hello from me, yes, it is I, and this is all very unusual for me and mama and papa, but I am still reading the funny, lovely, touching words of your blogs and they bring such joy to all of us, helping enormously with this change! Merci. A little centerfold kitty with tangerine boobs...
